M/C
(Micronutrient to Calorie) and N/C (Nucleus to Cytoplasm) Ratios
*Neither a high fat or high protein diet is
right. Remember, the waste product of animal protein metabolism is
the toxic amino acid, homocysteine,
which at high levels, significantly raises the risk of developing many
diseases and conditions (eg: birth defects, heart disease, and cancer).
Homocysteine
requires folic acid (found mainly in green
raw plants) in order for it to be recycled back into the essential and
most limiting amino acid, methionine.
In addition, a high animal protein diet is usually high in saturated animal
fat (eg: bacon, beef) as well. This type of diet is far
too rich and burdensome for the human body
to metabolize on a continuous basis.
A delicate balance exists in nature between plant and animal consumption.
*The human diet should be heavily weighted
in
raw fruits and vegetables, rich in key micronutrients
(vitamins
and minerals) that function to police and maintain the integrity of cellular
health, especially DNA. Focus should be on foods with high M/C
ratios (micronutrient to calorie ratios).
Empty carbohydrate foods--those low in micronutrients and high in calories--foods
with low M/C ratios--should
be avoided, especially if they contain added salt, refined sugar and flour,
and unnatural chemical compounds (artificial flavors and preservatives,
etc.). Usually these highly processed foods barely
resemble their natural origin.
*Diets
with high M/C (micronutrient to calorie) ratios create healthy
cells with low N/C ratios (nucleus to cytoplasm ratios), but diets
with low M/C ratios create malnourished unhealthy cells with cytomegaly
(cells that have abnormally large cytoplasm and nuclei such as in cervical
folate deficiency and gastric atrophy) that may eventually change into
cells that have high N/C ratios (eg:
HPV),
signifying cancerous or disease change. |
